This is for setting up a new OSX installation. I stopped including info about IDEs, because it can get long and changes all the time anyways. My old MacVim setup and files are left here for posterity, in the old/
folder. Keep in mind they will only work with Powerline fonts for Inconsolata (free fonts that are just one quick google away.)
Steps for a new OSX installation:
- Install homebrew via the website (you curl a url)
- Install iterm2 via brew.
- Go to iterm2 preferences and set appearance theme to Minimal.
- Go to iterm2 preferences > advanced and set tab outline to a smaller value.
- At https://iterm2colorschemes.com/, find a color scheme to use and curl it like this:
(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes/master/schemes/lovelace.itermcolors > /tmp/lovelace.itermcolors && open /tmp/lovelace.itermcolors)
- Install zsh:
brew install zsh
thensudo vi /etc/shells
and add/opt/homebrew/bin/zsh
to the list. Thenchsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/zsh
- Restart shell and check you’re in the homebrew zsh
(echo $SHELL)
- Install oh-my-zsh and zplug via homebrew.
brew install pure
- Replace the generated .zshrc with the one in this file
- When prompted to install, hit yes, then close out the prompt and reopen.
- All set! Now you can install fonts, .vimrc, etc.
